the belt of truth

Truth holds everything together for a believer just as a belt holds all clothing of a soldier together. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

the breastplate of righteousness

The gift of righteousness covers a believer's heart just as a breastplate protects the chest of a soldier. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

wear shoes on your feet that are prepared to proclaim the gospel of peace

Just as a soldier wears shoes to give him solid footing, the believer must have solid knowledge of the gospel of peace in order to be ready to proclaim it. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

always carrying the shield of faith

The faith God gives a believer is to be used for protection when the devil attacks like a shield which a soldier uses to protect from enemy attacks. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)

the flaming arrows of the evil one

The attacks of the devil against a believer are like flaming arrows shot at a soldier by an enemy. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor)
